This site is not suitable because IT IS GREEN BELT land.
Proposed development will negatively impact on the visibility and character of the landscape (with it being on a main route into historic Warwick and visible from the canal tow-path).
The area is prone to flooding.
It is located on a busy main road so safe access to and from the site for vehicles and pedestrians cannot be guaranteed - risk of increased road traffic accidents.
The size of the site is very small and is not really suitable for that number of pitches.
This site should not be considered for Gypsies and Travellers because IT IS GREEN BELT LAND (it is the only site in the preferred options which is Green Belt).
It is inappropriately located as access to the road network will not be easy as the Birmingham Road is a very busy road. Safe access onto and off the site for vehicles and pedestrians will be difficult (especially during rush hour). Furthermore, the road noise and speed/volume of traffic will not be good for potential residents.
The impact on the character of the landscape will be adversely affected - the visual impact on visitors to the town will not be good. Furthermore, the area is prone to flooding (in recent months the Birmingham Road has flooded multiple times).
The impact of land contamination is probable (as we have witnesses recently with gypsies at Kite's Nest and on the lane opposite the Shell Garage, Birmingham Road). Concerns regarding the impact to wildlife (with the site being next to the Grand Union Canal) and possible dumping of rubbish into the canal.
The size of the site is very small and is not really suitable for the number of pitches proposed.
